The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

"Are you sure about this Sebastian? You release once we make that next step, there is no going back, right?" Alex asked as he looked at his brother who seemed strangely determined to make the next step into the unknown.

This wasn't how it was supposed to be for them but then the mating bond had fucked up any trust they had in their siblings.

Maybe it was a cruel thing for them to do, but what else could they do to ensure that they both survived and that their siblings didn't have to bear the brunt of the madness that they had long been dealing with?

No one knew what was coming anymore save for the fact that Awuor Hawi would be the face of retribution this time.

If she got here before them, she would ruin them but if she didn't then they would have a chance at fucking everything up and regaining their control as the part of the realm that had remained feared for so long.

It was a gamble, a dangerous one at best, but maybe it was what they both needed to give into just this once, right?

"We have Trey and Amina's magic, not to mention little Kurt's too. We will be fine, Alex. we are stronger than we have ever been, because of the combined magic running through us. We can defeat them and take back our title in the realm.

"Nick is dead, Atticus was murdered, Razia was reduced to ashes. We have to make certain that everything is alright with the system. It doesn't matter how many times we try to fight Awuor Hawi.

"She is always going to be the formidable force that is meant to take us out. If you're scared, I can do this on my own, at least if I die, you can go back and bring our siblings from the Cezaevi," Sebastian defended and Alex sighed.

They were so close to the border of Sicario. He wasn't sure this was the smartest idea because of how things had been between them and the others. It was a huge risk, one that would definitely see them dead, if not as soon as possible.

This was the sort of gamble they could take on and yet they were still here hoping that things were right for them. It didn't matter that the realm was crying because of them and that the warriors had been trained to keep the Russels out of Sicario.

This was a risk they had to take, but was it a must? They could easily leave everything and live their lives. They could choose to live like there was no tomorrow and like there was no white wolf. They could choose peace, but that in itself was a dream.

"They still have a barrier up. You know what that will do to us since the barrier is stronger than any of our magic. Is this still something you want us to get into? We can choose peace, Seb.

"We can go back home and move to a faraway place, away from the people who are the realm in itself. Maybe we can go into hiding and never come out. Isn't that the easiest eye out of this instead of declawing with the warriors like they are waiting for us?" Alex asked.

Sebastian felt his heart shatter for his younger brother. Alex had always been the diplomat other than Atticus and Nick. He had always stood to make sure things were right and there was truly peace between the realms.

He had always wished for the day when they could all interact peacefully. Sebastian had seen the way his brother's eyes lit up when he realized that Amina was mated to Mbali and that Trey had been mated to Hudhayfah.

Alex had seen hope and love. He had seen a family that could be saved. He had seen bonds that could be taken as a treaty. He had seen what life would have been if they didn't have to be enemies of each other.

Alex has seen life beyond the chaos and frankly, it was something that Sebastian had been tempted to lean into. He had one temptation to make things right for his siblings, truly he was more than ready to forgive what Hawi had done to his siblings because they had done worse to Hawi.

He was ready to call it quits and find a happy place for himself and his siblings. A place where they could live happily ever after, even if it meant being alone. but that couldn't happen.

"We can't quit right now, Alex. We have to see things through, and think of the sins we committed since the realm was set up. Think of the sins of our parents, the same sins that carried the cruel reputation.

"Think of all the things father and mother did so that the seven of us would survive and not be looked at like fragile people. Think of the hurt we caused the realm. Even if Awuor Sicario chooses to forgive us, we wronged so many people in the process, Alex.

"We killed over ten protectors in our lifetime alone. What of the ones that mother and father killed? We are prisoners of the realm even if we choose not to think about it. There is never going to be a happy ending for us. We are doomed.

"Even in our relationships, we won't be looked at with love. I know you want to hope for a better future, but nothing is ever going to be better, Alex. Nothing is ever going to be the same for us.

"We are monsters, and that is the truth we must bear, no matter how heavy it is. That is a reality we have to come to terms with because at the end of the day, we have to make sure that life doesn't turn out for the worst for us," Sebastian explained.

Alex felt like his heart was going to come out of his chest. He was worried about the outcome of this. If the barrier was still there they were toast even before they could make a step towards the duelist pack.

They already knew that the current Sicario wasn't the Sicario that Jer had manipulated in their favor. It wasn't the Sicario that was easily defeated and done that they could do in and spew their magic around only for the warriors to fall dead. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

This was a different Sicario. It was way more dangerous than the original Sicario because while the original Sicario was ruled by Hawi's desire to make her pack the best of the best, this version of Sicario was cruel.

They were ruled by the desire to get their child home.

The desire to make sure the realm was a better place for the broken Sicario child.

They were warriors who would cut down any tree that stood in the way of Hawi, and burn down every little thing that would stop Hawi from coming back home and living her life as a normal Sicario wolf.

They were a pack that was ruled by vengeance and the burning desire for justice for the house of Sicario. It was one that was undefeated, even without magic and Alex and Sebastian knew that.

However, for the sake of their other siblings, they would be fine. They had to try their best to make this a reality worth living in. They had to fight for their place in the realm and regardless of what happened on the way, they would have to deal with it.

"Is that why you forced Kurt into the Cezaevi too? But what about Jeremiah Warner? Isn't he with Atticus's magic? Won't we channel our brother's magic too?" Alex asked and this time Sebastian wished he could explain it in simpler terms so he didn't have to break his brother's heart a second time.

It was a gamble they were both trapped in and one that they had to choose. But more than anything Seb wanted to tell his brother that regardless of what happened when they were headed to Sicario, they would be fine. They had to be.

"Jeremiah has his mission. Atticus demanded that he kill Awuor Hawi. That is his cross to carry. You and I are here to make sure our siblings do not hide anymore.

"We are here to either be the people who pay the price for the sins of our parents or the people who make sure our siblings never have to go into a Cezaevi because of what the realm thinks of us.

"We are bad, but maybe with this shit we are to do, they won't have to worry about what will come next. They won't have to worry about looking over the shoulder. We can always find people to be friends with and mate with, but we can't do that if we don't fight for our chance of a life, Alex.

"Do you understand me?" Seb said and Alex sighed.

Perhaps he just had to trust his brother and hope that at the end of the day, justice prevailed. Funny how he was thinking of justice when they had been the terror managers in the realm.

They had made every family and every faction bow to them more than once. They had reduced the once-feared realm into a place where no one was ever going to be free.

If Hawi hadn't been born to fight them, and if Hawi hadn't lost so much to the point that she was controlled by rage, they would have been able to win the realm over with fear once again.

But then, Hawi existed.

"Hold on… there is no magic coming from Sicario. Not even a dome. Did they bring it down?" Alex asked.

"It probably was the only way for Rukiya and Mbali to make it out. That means we can go in brother. Our army is already at their gates," Seb said.
